I'm very excited to be going to meet my new niece tonight. I'm so incredibly happy for my brother and his girlfriend. Just from Facebook and phone communication I can tell my brother is so in love with his daughter (as is his girlfriend of course). He's such a proud happy daddy.
I want to enjoy my niece and focus on her and her parents and their joy. But I know it will be impossible not to miss my babies as I cradle the sweet weight of my newborn niece in my arms. In my mind and heart 8 months ago, I imagined our new babies growing up very close in age. Of course that isn't to be. The last thing I want to do is make this visit sad- though I already warned my brother, my tears would not mean I'm not happy so hopefully they will understand a few tears if they come.
Anna,
ReplyDeleteI hope everything went o.k.. We lost our Tyler almost 10 months ago, and I feel blessed that I haven't had someone so close to me have a baby that I felt that I would need to go visit them. I am in pain for you, although I know at the same time you are very happy for them. We have several people that I was pregnant with that we know, and we are now watching their babies grow up. It is very hard, but I am starting to look at them as little windows(gifts)as to what our Tyler would be doing. At least I don't have to wonder. Thinking of you often,
Amanda
Anna,
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so sorry about your beautiful Gage. I am just now seeing this terrible news and wanted to reach out. I remember our coinciding days on bedrest with Hunter and Severin, our rainbow babies, and I can't believe you've had to endure another loss. The world can be so cruel. Sending much love and peace to you.
